The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle. That transition from Incident On 57th Street to Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) makes my heart leap with joy every damn time.

Yes, a hundred times. Love that album.

Also, saw a great gig in Nottingham last night, was anticipating a sad shaky hungover day before going home, but had a lovely fattening breakfast and then came out onto the streets and found myself inthe middle of a Saint Patricks Day Parade where everybody was smiling despite the pissing cold rain.

Bitter sweet realisation that my two weeks holiday and the wee man's Easter break are coming to an end. Flown by, but been amazing to spend so much stress free quality time together, even if half that time was spent curled up on the sofa battling sickness. Today we're off to the park to try out the new football and kit he got for his birthday.

Seeing one of my best friends for the first time in a year. It's silly cause he lives in London and I live in Essex, we should be able to see each other way more than we do but life and other stuff tends to get in the way. We had such a lovely catch up.

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade, So walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.

I was told on 3 separate occasions today that I am looking good. And that is not something I hear very often, nevermind three times in one day!

One of my pals even remarked that I was looking better today than he remembered me looking even before I got ill.... Haha! Bit of a back handed compliment, but it's nice to hear I'm obviously looking healthy now.

A friend this evening told me I have a mischievious look about me right now, a glint in the eye. Which my mum had actually mentioned a couple of days ago too.

I guess they saw me when I was lifeless, and just looked grey, dull, lifeless and had dead looking eyes. Feels nice knowing I'm looking good just now.
